Now living in Los Angeles to heavily focus on his career, independent artist June Poole is excited for what 2022 holds for him after spending the last year perfecting his craft by taking lessons and putting his all into his music. He recently dropped his latest single ‘Red Flags’ and the music video for it is on the way!
June has always been interested in music his whole life, he described it as an escape in life for himself. He’s been playing around with music for a few years but it wasn’t until the pandemic hit back in March 2020, when he decided that life is short, so why not spend it doing and going after something you love. Which is making music and making an impact with it on his fans and audience. Since then he’s been working on his craft full time between taking all of those classes and making over 20 songs in the last year, it’s safe to say that 2022 will be a great year for him as an artist because of his determination.
When asked about his inspiration for his music and sound he mentioned that he looks up to Drake, Chris Brown and Partynextdoor. He said he’s also been compared to Chris Brown before, as well as Jeremiah. He talked about his ability to change his sound by going back and forth from rapping and singing which sets him apart from most artists. He also mentioned that he’s doing this out of passion and for his family since they are his main support system and wants to give them a better life.
He considers himself a R&B/Pop artist so it’s really important to him that his music is something people want to dance to and vibe with! Essentially ‘feel good’ music. In the meantime June is working on perfecting his craft, building connections and relationships and planning big moves in 2022.

It is difficult to believe that five years have passed since DMX died, yet his impact continues to be felt through his family, close friends, and devoted fans. Recently, supporters and relatives came together in Yonkers, New York, to pay tribute to the late rapper. On Friday, June 12, he was officially honored with a street co naming, Earl "DMX" Simmons Way, though the ceremony briefly turned tense due to visible family disagreements.
A video that has been spreading online shows DMX's loved ones gathered on stage sharing remarks in his memory. During the moment when his eldest son, Xavier Simmons, stepped up to speak, he expressed that his mother, DMX's former wife of 15 years, Tashera Simmons, should have been present alongside them. Reports suggest that Tashera, along with some of Xavier's siblings, were not included on stage with the rest of the family. Xavier also directed criticism toward DMX's former partner and mother of his son Exodus, Desiree Lindstrom, accusing her of distancing Tashera from the rest of the family.
In footage shared by AllHipHop, Xavier can be heard saying, “There is absolutely no way that you will close this ceremony, and we will not hear from his original entire family.” He then called for Tashera and his siblings to join him on stage, emphasizing that his mother played a major role in pushing for the street renaming in honor of DMX. The atmosphere changed when he brought up Desiree, accusing her of intentionally keeping certain relatives away and telling her she "behaved dishonorably." The microphone was reportedly cut shortly after his remarks.
Following the event, Tashera addressed the situation on social media and supported her son's comments. “Did my son expose these devils? They’ve been exposed. Y’all know DMX. Y’all know Tashera," she said. "We built the DMX legacy together. There is no X without Tashera. The fact that they came to my hometown and did not want us to be recognized. I’mma let y’all sit with that one.”
Check out AllHipHop's video of the tense moment below, along with Tashera's follow-up message.
